megwritesThe subject basically says it all. I have a great idea that is just chomping at the bit for NaNoWriMo to arrive. I cannot wait to get going. It has plot!conflict! interesting characters! superpowers! It has it all.
I won't say it's the most original idea, but there are no original ideas. There are only reinventions, some better than others.
Also, I'm currently going at a good click through Whiskey and Water by Elizabeth Bear and it's actually better than its prequel Blood and Iron, thus far. You probably need to read Blood and Iron before digging in to W&W, but it's worth it.
Let's put it like this. If I can be so distracted that I don't smell the very stinky guy on the subway who is pressed against me because I am that absorbed in the book, you have done your job as a writer.
